The very least they could do is include a matching red TRS cable ...
I think I have gear issues ....

I found a listing on an Australian shop, and although I don't know how AUS prices will translate in the rest of the world, between tariff etc, there are at least two surprises.
https://www.bavasmusic.com.au/nord-ep30 ... cuNy858ajM
https://www.bavasmusic.com.au/nord-ep15 ... KznXbkpiPk

The first surprise is that the two pedals have exactly the same price.
The second is that that price is 270 Aus$, which would translate in around 150€...almost unbelievably cheap!
It would be totally in line with other high-end expression pedals like Mission Engineering, Dunlop or the top Korg, Boss or Roland models.
Definitely surprising, considering that for sustain Clavia sells rebranded FATAR and Kawai pedals at 3 times the prices of the competition...

Yeah, still way over priced at double the cost of a dunlop volume/expression pedal.

So, approximately 4 x the price of a Yamaha FC7.
I think my Yamaha's have another couple of decades of hard use left in them, before i need to think about a replacements.
Lets hope I do too.

just found this:
https://www.promusictools.com/p/clavia-nord-ep30
https://www.promusictools.com/p/clavia-nord-ep15

therefore, EU price is €209,- for both 15° and 30° variants.

For this price, you could get 2x Yamaha FC-7 plus 2 M-Audio Sustain Pedals

Honestly, despite the price I'm curious how the EP30 feels compared to the FC-7... hopefully the price for a EP30 will go down in a couple of months...

The cable is included in the scope of delivery and permanently mounted. Certainly does not justify the price...

That is a bummer. Rather have a replaceable cable at that price.

its either been photoshopped out to make the picture pretty or it doesn't have a permanently attached cable and any TRS cable can be used (presuming they supply one in the box with the pedal), which is generally preferred so you can easily replace a damaged cable or use one of any needed length depending on your setup and wiring needs.
